I am not sure how weekend mornings have turned into a baking
ritual. After my daughter watched her first show of the day, she
asked if we could make banana cake. As usual, I had rotten bananas
sitting untouched in a bowl. We created a healthy protein-packed
weekend breakfast treat--Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip
Bars.

My daughter mashed, stirred, snuck a couple of
chocolate chips into her mouth and turned the oven light on and off
until the banana bars rose. I was nervous how this no added sugar
treat would turn out but the touch of buttermilk, olive oil and
vanilla flavored Greek yogurt made these bars moist and perfectly
sweetened.
